+ Ormond residents prep for Halifax art Through the efforts of the Downtown Development Authority and the Guild of the Museum of Arts and Sciences, plans for the 52nd-annual Halifax Art Festival have begun. Details are being discussed to manage the festival artists as well as the 25,000 people who attend the two-day free event. Nov. 1-2, 225 juried artists will line both sides of Beach Street from Orange Avenue to Bay Street at the Riverfront Shops of Daytona. The Festival will also include the Student Art Exhibit and Competition, a Little Van Gogh area for smaller artists and live music both days. Visit www. HalifaxArtFestival.com.

Officials plan many uses for new building at complex.

Doug Thomas, member of the Leisure Services Advisory Board and longtime coach of youth sports, remembers one particular lightning storm at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. “It

was a nightmare,” he said. He described young people crowding inside a small storage building as adults stood under the eaves. Robert Carolin, leisure services director, said that when sport-

ing events are stopped for lightning, many of the players go to their cars with their parents to wait out the storm. This causes a problem in getting them all back and restarting the game after the

danger has passed. The new, recently constructed field house, which will be formally dedicated at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 22, will provide a place for

BACK AT IT By Emily Blackwood | Staff Writer

Seabreeze alumna returns to teach culinary classes Samantha Crouch credits her best high school days to the Seabreeze Culinary Academy, and this year she gets to go back — as a teacher. While attending the University of South Florida, Crouch discovered her love for teaching, though she didn’t quite realize it at first. “I was working with students, and I really enjoyed being able to assist, guide and mentor,”

Crouch said. “Teaching wasn’t the way I saw it going, but that was the way it ended up being, and I am certainly happy with that.” After graduating from USF, Crouch got the opportunity to come back home. And for her, home is the Culinary Academy. “I absolutely love that I’m going back as director of the

What I learned in the academy made me who I am today.

When Joseph Davis was diagnosed with autism at 18 months old, doctors told his mother, Kathleen, that he would never speak. “They told me he would never speak or show affection,” Kathleen Davis, an Ormond Beach resident, said. “Then we got him into therapy, and Tomoka Elementary was just wonderful with him. He was talking by the time he was 3 years old.” Now 5, Joseph talks in complete sentences. “He’s had an exceptional amount of progress,” Davis said. “I promote it to the teachers at Tomoka Elementary. The teachers are wonderful there. His actual grade point level of education is at 1.8, which is almost second grade for reading and writing. And he’s only going into kindergarten.” Positive advancements like the one Davis experienced with her son inspired her to start a support group for parents of autistic children. “I had been asked by several people if I had known of one,” she said. “A lot of the ones I went to were very negative. And I’m not that type of person. I like to take problems and try to find a solution, not just harp on what’s wrong. And I wanted to include the children.”

a lifestyle of service By Emily Blackwood | Staff Writer

Ormond volunteer honored

FOR PROTECTION Emily Blackwood | Staff Writer

Noel Bickford received an award from Chapel of Four Chaplains for volunteer work. When she was a young girl growing up in Brooklyn, Noel Bickford can remember her parents serving Thanksgiving dinner at their local church. “My parents were always doing something,” Bickford said. “Whether it was bake sales, making packages for community donations or putting together special fundraising events, it was just the way I grew up.” She never lost that community service lifestyle and went on to be a volunteer herself. Bickford has a long history of service, including being the executive director of the Civic

and Gardens, a member of the Daytona Beach Junior League and an active member of the Family Connection Advisory Council at Florida State University.

“It becomes a part of your life,” Bickford said. “It is a sense of purpose. It is a sense that you really can help and that is a rewarding feeling.” Bickford was recently honored for her community service at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3282. She was presented with the Bronze Medallion of the Legion of Honor from the Chapel of the Four Chaplains Aug. 15. “To be singled out and honored is humbling and unexpected,” Bickford said. “The VFW post was celebrating their 40th anniversary, so it was a lovely turnout and big celebration for them and all

the people who were there.” The award has also been presented to four U.S. presidents, Dame Margaret Thatcher, Francoise Mitterand and other international dignitaries. Bickford said to be in the same circle as those above is unexpected. “So much of volunteering is what you get back,” Bickford said. “I think that goes back to that humbling experience. If there are great celebrities, political figures that give back, then there are many normal citizens who are just like I am. They grow up believing you can make a difference.”

$1 MILLION, UP IN SMOKE Emily Blackwood

A home worth more than $1 million was destroyed after it caught fire Aug. 15. The Ormond Beach Fire Department arrived to the home at 67 Ocean Shore Blvd. at 2:40 a.m. to find heavy smoke showing from the vacant home. Capt. Ed Flud said the home is a total loss. The two story house is currently being investigated by the State Fire Marshall to determine the cause of the fire.

SPEECHY KEEN By Emily Blackwood | Staff Writer

Feel free to laugh during speech Ormond Beach Speechmasters group held a Humorous Speech Contest Aug. 18. The 11th-floor classroom at Florida Hospital was roaring Aug. 18 from the Ormond Speechmasters’ Humorous Speech Contest. Four people participated in the contest. Jami Monahan won first place with her speech, “Confessions of a Yoga Teacher.” “I’m a full-time, peace-loving yoga teacher,” Monahan said. “It is the only job I know where I get paid to tell people to drink water and just breathe and they don’t give me the middle finger.” Second place went to Dennis Alsobrook for his speech, “It’s Not My Fault.” “When I was 6 years old, my brother left his BB gun on the porch,” Alsobrook said. “So I got it, and I was trying to aim at something on the ground. But I aimed a little to the right and when I pulled the trigger,

the BB bounced off my tricycle and right through my Uncle Wilbur’s brand new car. I hated my brother got blamed for it.” The other two contestants, Fred Bergerson and Renny Roker, were disqualified due to a time qualification. Roker had the audience howling with his speech about his golf experiences, including when he taught his wife how to play and she got a hole-in-one. “We got to the clubhouse,” Roker said, “and she tells the guy working there, ‘I got a hole-in-one. My husband has never had a hole-in-one.’ The guy said, ‘I got a special award for you.’ So he gave her an award. Every time since then when I said I was going to play golf, the award appears somewhere.” Bergerson entertained the crowd with his tales of working

Jim Brown can easily recall the self esteem boost he got when he earned four different challenge coins as a military police investigator in the army. “Once you got your coin by the company commander, it felt good,” Brown said. “It’s a big morale booster.” Brown, a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 3800 in Ormond Beach, was shocked after speaking with local police and firefighters, that they didn’t have coins of their own. “We are all vets, a lot of cops are vets,” Brown said. “I was talking to police and they told me they didn’t have coins so I said, ‘Well, let’s get some made.’ It’s just something you do.” Brown had the Eagles spend $1,320 on coins for 88 police officers and 44 firefighters in Ormond Beach. “They were estatic,” Brown said. “We just gave it to them and we had it blessed by the priest so they can carry it in their pocket to protect them. It’s protection on the job.” And he’s not stopping there. Brown said he always keeps extra coins in his pocket — just in case. “Every time I see a sheriff or an officer, I give them one,” Brown said. “It’s just something you do.”

You said you broke the cup holder on your 5-year-old computer,” Bergerson said. “And you need it replaced? I’m sorry, ma’am, but what do you mean by the cup holder? ... So you’re tell-

ing me that when you push the middle button on your computer and the cup holder comes out, that you set your coffee cup on it, and it broke?” Monahan and Alsobrook will compete at the Area 73 Contest Sept. 20, in Daytona Beach.

CENTRAL PARK

601 Fleming Ave. & 601 Hammock Lane 601 Division Ave. 602 Hammock Lane Central Park consists of four parks totaling 149.1 acres. There are two gazebos and picnic pavilions within the parks with several picnic tables and outdoor grills. A large peaceful lake is situated on the property with fishing and viewing access provided by the Joyce Ebbets fishing pier as well as a canoe/ kayak ramp. Central Park II, located on Hammock Lane, has a labyrinth which was organized by the Baliker and Bertrand families of Ormond Beach and was entirely funded by both financial and in-kind donations from individuals, private businesses and civic groups. Recently, all five lakes within the four phases of Central Park were interconnected and provide canoeists/kayakers the ability to travel from lake to lake. Picnic pavilions are available for rental for your next gathering.

The 100-by-45-foot multipurpose building is located at Stadium Field, where football, soccer, rugby and several other sports are played. Thomas said it will provide a place for players to cool off (or warm up on a cold night) and gather for halftime. It can be divided with a soundproof wall, providing privacy for both teams. “Now they go to the end zones and just sit there,” he said. Audio-visual capabilities will allow the coaches to go over strategies with the teams. The field house also provides much needed restroom facilities in the area.

Carolin said the facility will be available for companies to have seminars, industrial training, safety training, motivational speaking, etc. He said it could also be used for family reunions or company picnics. “It’s going to be one of the largest conference rooms in Ormond,” Carolin said. He points out that it has composite flooring, which is the latest technology for locker rooms. Audio can be projected without the echo often caused by concrete floors and it looks more like a conference room than a field house. “It really dresses it up,” he said. Thomas said there is also a room for food preparation. “There is so much po-

tential it’s unreal,” he said. “This is one of the best things to happen in Ormond Beach.” Thomas said Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School has 120 to 180 students for a session, and they stay at a Daytona Beach hotel so they can have a large conference room for their classroom training. The field house can accommodate 285 people for a meeting, and offers pull-down screens, so Thomas is hoping the school will have their training there and be able to stay in Ormond Beach.

Named after benefactor

The City Commission has approved naming the facility after a major donor, Greg Smith, a local manufacturer and 32year Ormond Beach resident. Smith donated $120,000 toward the cost of the $400,000 building. Smith said his son grew up playing ball at the sports complex. He said a lot of people have contributed to make the complex a “first class facility,” and he wanted to add to it. “We need to give back and it’s all about the kids,” he said. Smith previously donated $25,000 for the weight room at the South Ormond Neighborhood Center and has also supported the Police Athletic League. The ribbon cutting for the facility will be at 5:30 p.m. at the field house. To attend, turn right onto Harmony Avenue from Hull Road. Turn left onto Doug Thomas Way (the perimeter road), and follow it to Stadium Field.

academy,” Crouch said. “I was president my senior year and that got me a lot more involved with the backside of the academy. It was something I always enjoyed and took a lot of pride in.” Crouch continued: “What I learned in the academy made me who I am today. And now I have the opportunity to be in that same position for new students.The academy has always meant something very personal to me and I’m so excited to be back at it.” For her new students, Crouch hopes to increase their ties with the community this school year, cinluding catering and volunteering at the Daytona 500. This will be Crouch’s first year as a teacher, and, as a newcomer, she’s received a lot of words of wisdom. She said the best piece of advice she has heard is one she’s like to pass on to her students, as well. “Stop being so hard on yourself,” Crouch said. “Know that you’re doing a good job, and you’re in it for the right thing.”

The group started about a year ago and had five meetings before it dwindled out. Now Davis wants to restart the group and expand it to include speakers. She hopes to get enough moms and dads involved so she can discuss topics like the new Blue Jay Academy, a school for autism children, and communication issues. “For my son, the struggle is with focus and the ability to sit still for two minutes,” Davis said. “It’s kind of obsession-type things. He’ll obsess over something he wants until he can finally get to it. It also makes him very intelligent. When he can’t express what he wants, he has a meltdown and starts throwing things. Communication is one of our biggest obstacles.” Davis said she found peace in getting involved with other autism groups. She is the resource fair coordinator for Autism Speaks, involved in Surfers for Autism and helps the Blue Jay Academy raise money for their school. She hopes reviving her group will give parents of autistic children a place to feel that same peace. “Stay calm,” Davis said. “You really have to remember it is trial and error. What works for me isn’t going to work for them.” Email teamjoseph3@gmail.com.

BOOKING NEW PROGRAMS By Jonathan Simmons | News Editor

Children’s literacy program expands, seeks volunteers

INBRIEF

ReadingPals, a donation- and grant-funded volunteer literacy program, serves children in Volusia and Flagler counties. A literacy program serving hundreds of children in Flagler and Volusia counties is expanding and seeking more volunteers to handle growing demand. Volunteer mentors for ReadingPals, an initiative run in cooperation with the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties that places tutors in local elementary schools and voluntary prekindergarten programs to help young children learn to read, served 365 children in Flagler County and 383 children in Volusia County last year, ReadingPals officials said. “The mentors build a relationship, help them become more confident,” Flagler Volunteer Services Director Suzy Gamblain said. “And we really hope for (the children) to learn to enjoy reading more. We try to really push that. They have a lot of fun; it’s not just tutoring.” Mentors tutor students for an hour a week, usually in two half-hour sessions, on the student’s school campus, she said. This year, the Flagler County program will be expanding its reach to new voluntary prekindergarten programs at Old Kings, Rymfire and Wadsworth elementary schools, Gamblain

said. “We are in the process of recruiting new volunteers,” she said. “But we don’t know how many students we’ll have until school starts and they do the (reading) assessment.” In Volusia County, the program was in six locations and 13 classrooms last year, said United Way Volunteer Center Director Diane Olsen. This year, it will serve 11 locations and 71 classrooms. “We need volunteers at all of our locations,” Olsen said. And, she said, “It’s so much more than reading to students.

We teach the parents. We give them reading demonstrations; we teach them about inflection, and where to pause to make it engaging.” Last year, Olsen said, children in Volusia County and Flagler County received more than 4,000 free books through ReadingPals. In Flagler, Gamblain said, the program has 115 volunteer mentors, but will probably need at least 150. In Volusia County, where ReadingPals works with individual students and also entire voluntary pre-kindergarten classrooms, Reading Pals has 185 mentors and needs at least 200, said Olsen. “Most of them find out that, as much as they’re giving to the child, the child is giving back to them; it’s very rewarding both ways,” Gamblain said. “I can’t tell you how many mentors say it’s the most rewarding thing they’ve ever done. They get such a sense of accomplishment from it.” For more on ReadingPals in Flagler County, go to flaglervolunteer.org or call 597-2950.

City Manager Joyce Shanahan pointed out that the accreditation commission reported that all standards were met in the review and no flaws were found.

It’s the most iconic profile shot in the world: the angular nose in the black mask, the grizzled scowl, the spiked ears of the Batman. I have to admit, though, that it was a bit less intimidating to catch a glimpse of this particular Batman as I was pulling out of a parking lot and noticed him as he was changing his pants in the cramped front seat of a Toyota Corolla. Two women, who by comparison were dressed unheroically, possibly his wife and mother, leaned against the car outside, waiting patiently for him, apparently used to dealing with the Dark Knight, a man who can take a while getting dressed. BRIAN This trio was among MCMILLAN more than 300 people who, on Aug. 16, attended the party celebrating the one-year anniversary of Nerdtropolis, a comic books store at 1459 N. U.S. 1, Suite 8A. In addition to a few Batmen, you also had lots of characters I had never heard of: Alois Trancy, John Egbert, Fiona the Human. One character was completely made up, Candy, but her pink eyes and animatronic mouth made the costume so “realistic,” for lack of a better term, that she (Allison White) won first place in the event’s cosplay contest.

Stormtroopers

The best costumes that I saw, however, were the stormtroopers. I’ve always been a big fan of “Star Wars,” so I couldn’t resist capturing a few shots of local kids interacting with these members of the 501st Legion, a group of volunteers who spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on the costumes, and then come to cosplay events or charities to show them off. “We do it for the love of ‘Star Wars,’” said Ed Lyons, an Ormond resident who was dressed as a stormtrooper called Arc Trooper Fives. He said one of the highlights of his day was when a 3-year-old held his hand for a photo and didn’t seem to want to let go.

Taylor Blasco celebrated the one-year anniversary of his Ormond comic book store.

Blake Griffin and her sister, Rylee, don’t know it, but the man behind that mask is actually Ormond Beach resident Ed Lyons, who is dressed as Arc Trooper Fives from “Star Wars Clone Wars: The Animated Series.” The most common line that fans say to Lyons is a classic from Obi-wan Kenobi in Episode IV: “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.” But Lyons will have none of that. He said, “I’m like, ‘I’m not from that movie.’” (Arc Trooper Fives appears in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” the animated series. Duh.) However, Jon Jeffers, who was visiting from Jacksonville, was dressed as an Episode IV stormtrooper. He said his outfit is similar in construction to those used in the 1977 film. That means it’s plastic and can break easily if he’s not careful. He said the films’ creator, George Lucas, had lots of practical problems as the stormtrooper stunt men dove and knelt and crashed into things. If you pause the movie and look carefully, Jeffers said, you can see white duct tape covering cracks in helmets and armor plates.

The man of the hour

But the real reason I wanted to visit Nerdtropolis that day was not the costumes and the comic books. Last year, the Ormond Beach Observer ran a story about Taylor Blasco, the owner, and I wanted to meet him in person. He’s not your typical businessman: He just recently turned 18. But, my attempt to meet him in person was thwarted by a mob of customers — not a bad problem to have, if you’re the owner. Instead, I chatted with his father, James Blasco, and his brother, James Jr. When the shop opened again on Monday, I finally got Taylor on the phone. He said he saved up his own money from working at Winn Dixie, and also got a loan from his parents and family friends, to open Nerdtropolis. He works every day at the cash register and then also does his research at night. He has no other employees, but his father and brother lend a hand to give him a break. In the meantime, there’s the little problem of school. “I haven’t actually gradu-

Ormond Beach residents Anthony Coschignano, as Scout from “Team Fortress 2”; Beth Sanders, as John Egbert from “Homestuck”; and Taylor Harreld, as Fiona the Human from “Adventure Time” ated,” Taylor said. “I’m not in high school. I was attending Virtual School for a short amount of time, but with the business and everything, it got so time-consuming, and the workload was too much.” He does plan to finish high school in one way or another and possibly go to college in film or computers. In the meantime, he’s having too much fun being the king of the nerds and hosting cosplay actors. “I like to think that cosplayers are the most passionate about the nerd community,” he said. “They love to show it off. They’re the loud and proud ones.” Whether it’s interacting with people at conventions or talking about the latest twists and turns of the superhero world with kids and adults alike — some successful professionals stop in weekly — he has embraced this marvelous universe. “It’s a great community,” he said. “They’re some of the nicest people in the world.” For more, call 265-1790.

LETTERS EDITOR TO THE

+ Webster Barnaby: Why I’m running for County Council (Editor’s note: Webster Barnaby did not participate in the Observer’s Elections Guide. To help readers understand his views better, he was given 600 words as a letter to the editor, the same number of words given to his opponents in the County Council at-large seat.) Dear Editor: They say only two things in life are certain: death and taxes. We cannot do anything about death. That’s out of our hands. We can do something about taxes, which are far too high. Volusia County has earned the dubious distinction of the second highest overall tax burden among Florida’s 67 counties.

Florida has recently led the nation in foreclosure rates. People are struggling to pay their household bills. You cannot grow the tax base by squeezing taxpayers out of their homes or businesses! I seek election to the County Council with like-minded fiscal conservatives who will join me in identifying ways to lower county taxes. I know that’s just part of your overall tax burden. But we have to start somewhere. Property values are up this year. If the County Council imposes the same millage rate, you will see higher tax bills! We need to roll back the millage rate in order to hold the line on taxes. Ten years ago, Volusia County encumbered itself with a $65 million bond issue to pay for road projects. That bond

continues to siphon $4.9 million per year away from the gas tax that is meant to pay for infrastructure projects. The county still has another 10 years to finish paying the bond. We should consider using some of our $195.8 million allocated fund balance to retire the debt early. We must return to a pay as you go system to replenish our road funds. We need to send the message that Volusia is open for business. Why do we have three advertising authorities competing with one another for precious tourist dollars? Volusia should speak with one voice and market the entire county with participation of all stakeholders. I am all for the development of new

LETTERS / FROM PAGE 6 beachside hotel resorts, but not at the expense of our time-honored tradition of driving on the beach! I want to draw a line in the sand! I oppose efforts to further reduce or limit beach driving. It’s the wrong way to go! The people of Volusia County need a stronger voice and a government that listens sincerely to their concerns. I don’t pretend to know all the answers. But I can assure you that I intend to ask the right questions and listen to the people who elect us to office. I have done so as a Deltona City Commissioner and intend to do the same as your at-large representative on the Volusia County Council. We need new leadership to provide jobs, integrity and prosperity in a better Volusia. Help is on the way, but first I need your help. Please vote for me so that together we can restore a proper partnership between the taxpayers and those they employ to run government in their behalf. Webster Barnaby Candidate for Volusia County Council at large

+ Take another look: Vote for Pat Northey Dear Editor: After reading the Observer’s endorsements in last week’s issue, I feel that as a citizen of Ormond Beach and Volusia County, I must say my piece. During the seven years that I have known Pat Northey, I have found her to be a person who is honest, open and who has worked tirelessly not only for the people in her district but also for the interests of all of the county at-large. Her depth of knowledge and experience in the issues of our county is unsurpassed. Would that all of your readers had been at the Debate at Stetson University on Aug. 6, as I was! Pat Northey was on point on every topic. Instead

of lowering herself to a political platform, she spent her time answering each question concisely along with supporting facts and figures. She was poised and did not waver. This is not something that I can say about the other two candidates. I urge the people of Volusia County to take a serious look at Pat Northey’s background and accomplishments. I believe that they will see a candidate of the highest caliber and long tenure who works not for personal gain but for the good of the people of this county. Joelle King Ormond Beach

+ Don’t raise taxes in Ormond Beach (Editor’s Note: This letter was also sent to the Ormond Beach City Commission, among others.) Dear Editor: It is apparently time for your annual spanking. You are proposing a tax hike of 4.1% to property taxes in the city. Before I offer my opinion on this proposal, I want to commend the commission for its able leadership and lack of drama being suffered by many other cities and taxing authorities like Port Orange, Holly Hill and the hospital taxing districts. I’ve actually used your health care plan as an example to show how the School District could be saving money and avert a tax increase of its own. Having said that, we are disappointed that you’ve swung right back into the old habit of using rising property values to increase property taxes. Two weeks ago, the county property appraiser published an editorial in which he specifically stated that rising property values are never an excuse to raise taxes. This is the cycle that got us in trouble pre-crash. You can talk all you want about how you are better than other poorly managed cities in Volusia County, but the

sad fact is we are heading for the top slot in total millage rates among all 67 Florida Counties. This will severely impact our ability to ever attract businesses to fill empty and shuttered commercial properties like the former Food Lion at the corner of Halifax and Granada. Granada Boulevard and State Road A1A are littered with vacant properties that ought to be thriving by now. If you are going to resort to rolledback rates during downturns to insulate yourself from the private economy, then you have a moral obligation to do so when values are rising. Lacking this commitment, we will continue to ratchet up without limits. By proposing any tax hike in this environment, you are part of the problem. The mayor suggested I should downsize at a budget workshop last year when I expressed dismay at the tax hike you passed at that time. I implied in a later editorial that downsizing may be appropriate for the city as well. Rather than installing an overpriced pile of coquina to welcome visitors to Ormond Beach, how about greeting them with lower tax rates so you don’t have to pass out big tax incentives that the rest of us pay for to attract new business. By the way, how about finishing up John Anderson Drive while we’re young? In response to a reporter’s question as to my choice to live in a large house: Last time I checked the Constitution, there was a clause protecting property rights in America. I don’t believe there is justification for any taxing authority to tax retired residents out of their houses in a free society. Please reconsider your proposed tax hikes and get back to the rolled back rate. We do not want the notoriety of being No. 1 in this category. Thank you for your service to our community. Ed Connor Ormond Beach, Volusia Tax Reform

SING-ALONG: THE GRANADA PROJECT

Dear Editor: I recently read that Linda Ronstadt is going to reprise her 1975 song, “When Will I Be Loved,” with new words especially for Ormond Beach residents. The new title, “When Will Granada be Repaved?” with the following word changes: I’ve been cheated  Been mistreated  When will Granada be repaved?  I’ve been bumped ’round I’ve been dropped down When will Granada be repaved?  When I find a new corner  Where I want to turn  It always breaks my axle in two  It happens every time  I’ve been made blue  My car’s been towed too  When will Granada be repaved?   When I find a smooth spot  Where I hope to drive  Granada always breaks my axle in two  It happens every time   Oh, I’ve been cheated  Been mistreated  When will Granada be repaved?  When will Granada be repaved?  Tell me, when will it be repaved?  In all seriousness, any official who awards a future paving contract to the current Granada contractor should be dropped in the La Brea Tar Pits. Richard L. Kesling Ormond Beach Editor’s Note: Thanks for the laughs, Richard! To be fair, though, this was a Florida Department of Transportation project, and there were unexpected delays in installing the light masts, so the paving company does deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Erin, 14, Dylan Lev, 14, and Ben Steel, 14, said they are ready to get back into the school routine. Though there were clouds in the sky, nothing was going to rain on the final beach day parade for Ormond Beach students. Before starting school Aug. 18, students hit the beach. And even though they enjoyed their summer vacations, Ormond Beach kids are ready to go back to school. “I’m starting high school this year at Seabreeze,” 14-year-old Ben Steel said.

“The biggest change is going to be the amount of people and the work load.” Jordan Estep, 9, is ready to start his fourth-grade year at Champion Elementary because he’s excited to see his friends. Emma Steel, 11, is also excited to meet up with her pals at St. Barnabas Episcopal School in DeLand. “I’m excited to see my friends again,” she said. emily@ormondbeachobserver.com

OPPOSITE FIELD Joey LoMonaco | Sports Writer

Goodbye, Ormond I rifled through the sea of clothes on the floor of my third-floor room at the Holiday Inn off State Road 100. It was March 28, and I was headed to the home of Executive Editor Brian McMillan — my new boss. He’d invited me over to catch some March Madness on TV. I located the top I was looking for, pulled it over my head and hit the JOEY road. Roughly 20 LoMONACO minutes later, as bugs worshipped the glow of a nearby porch light, I pushed the McMillans’ doorbell. Half a year later, I’m heading home — having landed an expanded opportunity on the sports desk at The Washington Post. I haven’t been here long, but I’ll never forget this community, the athletes, the coaches and administrators — the people I’ve met. So, this column’s dedicated to you. It’s for all-star coach and dad Raul Hernandez, who let me into his living room at 9 p.m. on a workday and ran five-on-five with me at Wadsworth Park (sorry I missed three open layups, man). It’s for Jordan Butler, who let me toss with his travel team. It’s for Florida State University recruit A.J. Westbrook, who can truthfully list “media relations” experience on his résumé after hooking me up with half a dozen of his Mainland football teammates for interviews. It’s for Charlie Truglia, who bowled home the point that age is really just a number. And finally, it’s for Jonathan, Shanna, Ximena, Maureen, Kait, John, Emily, Wayne and Randi. My luck in coming here is your continued good fortune, Palm Coast — the Observer is the epitome of a family newspaper. Last month, I returned to Brian’s house on a Sunday afternoon. The occasion was a “gender reveal party,” (don’t judge me, Dad) for the McMillans’ fourth child. Everyone from our company was there, and why not? Our big, blended, interfaith, Observer family was growing bigger by one (It’s a girl, in case you’ve been under a rock). For me, Palm Coast was never really home. I’ll always think of you all as the friend who let me bed on his couch for a few weeks while I was in a bad way. And, when I think of you, I’ll geek out smiling. Note: In the past few weeks, I’ve also had the privilege of getting to know the football programs at Seabreeze, Mainland, Father Lopez and the Palm Coast schools. Don’t miss the special preview section inside this week’s edition. Good luck to all the fall teams.

Body builder fulfills dream of becoming a

PRO

Ormond Beach man overcomes traumatic childhood injury. Mike “Broc Man” Ives fulfilled a lifetime dream last month. The 57-year-old won his body building “pro card” July 19, at the Central Florida Classic Pro Am at the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center. After nearly losing his arms in a childhood accident, and body building for 30 years, he can now call himself a professional. The tournament was one of three natural body building tournaments, where contestants are only allowed to take natural supplements and vitamins. It was organized by Jim Mora, of Ormond Beach. Becoming a professional was a long road. When he was 15, he worked at a paper mill, and one day was asked to substitute for the person who runs the baler, the machine that uses tremendous force to compress stacks of paper. He said he took his eyes off the job for a second, and the machine crushed the paper down onto both arms, up past the elbows. He was there for hours before someone checked on him. “I went to heaven that day,” Ives said. “God said, ‘I’m not ready for you.’” He said his entire life flashed before his eyes, back to his early childhood. “People ask me about the pain,” he said. “I say, ‘What’s the definition of infinity? That was the pain.’” The doctors wanted to amputate, but he heard his dad in the hallway telling them no. After months in casts, and years of therapy, his arms were undeveloped, and he often didn’t have feeling in his hands. He still had pain; he learned to meditate to overcome it. Then one day he saw a magazine with Arnold Schwarzenegger on the cover. “I went out and bought one

Mike “Broc Man” Ives shows off his award at Planet Fitness on State Road A1A. of those 110-pound weight sets full of sand,” he said. “I bought a heavy bag and a speed bag and started working out.” He entered the Mr. Philadelphia contest, where he grew up, when he was 21 years old. He didn’t place, and said he went home and cried. After that, he had dreams of getting a first-place trophy. “I thought about it every day,” he said. He worked out for years, and finally in 2005, he won a first-place trophy, in the novice heavyweight division at the Mr. Daytona Competition in 2005. “That’s when my career took off,” he said. He won other titles, but a pro card is only given in a sanctioned tournament where there are at least five competitors in the division. Natural body building is a growing sport, but still relatively young, and often does not draw that many contestants.

Five years of sacrifice

Lex Kovacks, who attended Tomoka Elementary and Ormond Beach Middle School, and now lives in South Daytona, can testify to the difficulty of earning a pro card. At age 25, he finally got his card the same night as Ives at the PAC. “It took five years of dedication and sacrifice,” he said. Kovacks had an extra burden. He works as a traveling salesman, and to eat right on the road, packed all of his meals in a cooler. To work out, he often got up at 4 a.m. to go to a gym before seeing clients. He said he now plans to enter professional competitions with cash prizes.

+ Local sailors compete in annual Abaco Race Week Local sailors from the Halifax River Yacht Club in Daytona Beach recently returned from a week of sailboat racing in the Bahamas in the annual Regatta Time in Abaco. Despite concerns about the first tropical storm forming just before the weeklong series, 28 boats entered the 2014 RTIA competition. Dennis Gorden, of Ormond Beach, owner of “Iceman,” a 49-foot Beneteau sailboat, captained his boat with two of his friends, Pat Adsit and Katherine Hunter. Brad Riddle, also from HRYC, crewed for “Iceman” as a muchneeded “pinch hitter” for two of the five races as well. Although very short handed, and weathering some high winds from Tropical Storm Arthur, Iceman placed second and third in the five-race series. Gorden said that during the first race at Green Turtle Cay, his boat’s wind indicator registered wind gusts in excess of 49 knots (56 mph). “Those kinds of winds are extreme even when you’re sitting at home,” he said.

The new facility, to be completed in March 2015, will have 35 beds, with both private and semi-private rooms available, according to Marketing Director Estelle Pecchio. Having four residences rather than one large building allows an intimate, homelike setting, and they have a six-to-one staff to patient ratio, Pecchio said. “We would never be in a big building,” she said. Sarah House I and II both have six private rooms and Sarah House III has 20 residents, with five rooms being semi-

private. “The Sarah House encourages their residents to have a ‘life purpose’ by keeping them interested, involved and creating a happier and a more fulfilled lifestyle,” Pecchio said. She said they have activities and often have visitors, including entertainment, student groups, a yoga instructor, music therapy, etc. All of the buildings have grounds where the residents can enjoy the outdoors and help tend the outdoor plants if they wish. Sarah House Residences are owned by Ofer and Shoshana Sharon, of Ormond Beach, who opened the first residence eight years ago. “They are in and out of the buildings,” Pecchio said. “They are hands-on owners.” Call 898-3351.

terling Rice remembers first walking into Adornments on East Granada Boulevard when she was a little girl. “I grew up shopping there,” Rice said. “I can always coming into the boutique and seeing really cool things. That’s my hometown.” Now 24, the daughter of Hawaiian Tropic creator Ron Rice will be selling her jewelry line Sterling Rice Original at her favorite hometown boutique. After she started toying with beading back in March, she said her passion sort of shifted into a business — a trait she likely inherited from her father. “It’s exciting; I’ve never done it on my own before,” said Rice, who’s currently attending Portland State University. “I love the feeling I get when I hear people say, ‘Oh, I love that bracelet.’ I’m really enjoying all the artsy parts of this new venture.” Rice describes her line as Bohemian chic and said she uses a lot of different elements such as vintage German glass, sterling silver and crystal. Though she knew her dad would be a big help with the business aspect, he’s also been helping her with gemology. “It’s been a cool bonding experience,” Rice said. “He’s been teaching me about the preciousness of the stones and their quality. He’s even taking me emerald mining next week. He’s also been helping me with branding and logos. Basically, he’s like the best teacher.” Though Adornments is the first place that will carry Rice’s line, she hopes to expand it to more upscale stores and boutiques. “I really love working with my hands,” Sterling Rice said. “It’s very calming to me. For now, I think I’m going to take a break from school and just see where this business takes me.” Rice will launch her jewelry line 11:30 a.m. Aug. 23 at Adornments. To see her jewelry, visit www.sterlingriceorginal.com.
